Person:notes | Porel Aung Thein has been a member of the State Administration Council (SAC) since 1 Feb 2023. He is also a member of a military-proxy party, Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). SAC is led by Commander in Chief Min Aung Hlaing and took over the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the State as of 1 Feb 2021, preventing the democratically elected government from fulfilling its mandate. As member of the SAC, Porel Aung Thein has been directly involved in and responsible for decision-making concerning state functions and is therefore responsible for undermining democracy and the rule of law in Myanmar/Burma. Additionally, the SAC adopted decisions restricting the rights of freedom of expression, including access to information, and peaceful assembly. The military forces and authorities operating under the control of the SAC have committed serious human rights violations since 1 Feb 2021, killing civilian and unarmed protestors, and restricted freedom of assembly and of expression. As member of the SAC, Porel Aung Thein is directly responsible for those repressive decisions and for serious human rights violations. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-64373 | ||||
